Tundras live: A Bunch of Idiots And A Bunch of BS- Resume discussion group

Angel #2112 signifies balance and trust of the 'universe' and new beginnings...

 

Ah. I think I've only heard a couple Rush songs. Not really for me.

 

Go sit in the corner and think about what you said. Such a shameful thing to say.

 

Yep, all by hand, drafting with technical pens.

2112 is a Rush album and I was into that band at the time… um, a little bit.

 

Yep.

And one of their more obscure albums has a song called I think I’m Going Bald, I’m starting to wish I’d never heard that one.

 

Not that’s there’s anything at all wrong with having little or no hair on a man’s head. That’s fine, and looks distinguished and damn good.

 

Hair is fine.

Bald is fine.

Balding is where the problems lie.

 

Gotta know when to let go

 

I liked them a lot back then. They were new and innovative. Still are. But I like to keep moving with music. I’m not a new world man anymore. Creepy cynical middle aged man might be more accurate. And middle is stretching it.

 

I've been cynical for a long time. In that regard I'm a bitter, jaded, 60 year old.

As for how I feel for experience and capabilities, well I'm still a dumb 20 year old kid.

 

Yet more evidence that you are a strange one. I'm OK with strange though.

Maybe not shameful, but definitely out of the norm.

Still am. Note the shirt in the avatar pic. You'll have to zoom in.

You and me both brother.

When I googled 2112 this was the third hit. Maybe @j-utah liked the album so much he bought a house with the address?

 

well, I thought about this. My thought being there needs to be a questionnaire for cynicism. Turns out there is. I only have moderate cynicism per the test. So I guess that’s not terrible, perhaps. I think this is something I need to work on.

We’ll see. The test makers probably have some sort of hidden agenda.

This is amazingly awesome.

 

lol, you gotta laugh when the description starts w/ “bring your contractor.”

 

And the next line: "house has great bones", generally means, you're going to be gutting it and starting over.

 

I approached this as optimistically as possible. Even with me being kinder in my answers I was only one point off of being highly cynical.

 

I got highly cynical but that could just be because I'm in a bad mood today.

 

Ah, and I'm in a pretty good mood. Thus my optimistic take.

 

Holy fucking shit. I'm slow this morning. I JUST caught this joke.


I just took it in stride and was thinking "of course they do. Why else would they put it out there? It's not to help, it's to get something."


I may be more cynical than I thought.

 

Some of the thread guests are taking notes for their thesis, LOL.

 

Honestly, it makes sense that Toyota/Tundra buyers would be cynics. Why else do you buy Toyota if not for a complete and utter lack of faith in other manufacturers products or their willingness/ability to stand behind those products?

Toyota succeeds because they are (usually) consistent. They very seldom have total let downs.

 

With recent events, I'm not surprised you outscored me. I should retake it and not pull my punches.

 

TLDR Score 63/100

I guess my cynicism really depends on the topic. Large organizations like governments, corporations, politicians, celebrities I am highly cynical towards. The average person living their life just trying to get by, not as much.

Individual people are generally honest and good folks. Start putting them in groups where they are being led by others, then the train starts to come off the tracks...

 

Yeah, rereading some of those the phrasing matters. There's several questions that say "usually" and that definitely matters. I glossed over some of that and took many questions as more absolutes or as "always" rather than the usual that it was presented in.


Retaking it, reading more slowly, and really looking into how I genuinely feel without any sugarcoating..... I may actually need to work on my cynicism.

 

I wish I could agree with this.

In my experience, individual people are not much better than the big bad boogey men of organizations. Good ones are few and far between, and frequently they get shafted by the rest that the good erodes and they either withdraw or they become what broke them.
